Let $F_t: M^n \\rightarrow \\bar{M}^{n+1}$ ($t\\in [0,T]$) be a family of immersions evolving by mean curvature flow with initial data $F_0$ and with uniformly bounded second fundamental forms. We show that the supremum and infimum of the normal curvature of the immersions $F_t$ vary at a bounded rate. This is an analogue of a result of Rong and Kapovitch on Ricci flow.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v3", "updated": "2011-04-28T16:41:45.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "53C44" ], "keywords": [ "mean curvature flow", "normal curvature bounds", "uniformly bounded second fundamental forms", "complete riemannian manifolds", "initial data" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 4, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2009arXiv0906.2889H" } } }
